OZARK, Mo, juno S.-About two O'Clock
In the afternoon, yesterday, Bob Meadows
an old citizen Of Christian county, wa.
Hhot and instantly killed by an unknown
aseasain secreted In the woods.
Meadows and his wife were walking
along a road, through o dense growth OIL
trees aud uudorbfush, when the woman
was atartled by tho report OF q gun, and
saw her husband fall liieless to the ground.
lie was shot through the breast. Imme.
diately after the shooting Mrs. Meadows
says she saw two mon run from an
ambush near by, bu. the concealment Of
the woods prevented the recognition Of the
asassains. ,'l4tt,.F'' ll.7 7lI. f11
Il ia not thought that the killing Of
Meadows grew out OF the Bald Knob
troubles Of Christian and Taney counties,
although the murdered man did at one
time claim to have been warned BY the
regulators 10 leave the country. During
the whole history Of the .Psyton murder
case, In this county, Meadows took an &C.
tive interest in the affair which exposed
him to tho most serioua complications, as
he was instrumental in securing the con.
yiction of JameI Peyton, who is now sery.
Ing a life sentence. This Is the forty.third
murder in this county since the war.
